I dunno. The only thing I really disagree with when I actually look at Jeremiah Wright's speeches is the notion that HIV was introduced by the government -- that's pretty outrageous. Unless I'm missing something dramatic though, I actually agree with everything else he says. I think most white Americans really are blind to the sort of actions that are taken for our benefit at the detriment to others -- when those actions could have been taken to the benefit of everyone.

One can argue that Wright speaking out damages the Obama campaign, but are we really willing to argue that, if this is what Wright really, truly believes, he should be silent and let it continue? My take on this is that it isn't so much about Wright vs. Obama but the Mainstream Media vs. Obama. I was wondering when the media would get their mitts on something they could tie around Obama like a lead anchor. Hilary Clinton comes with plenty of baggage, after all, and that "Straight Talkin' maverick" McCain has them eating out of his hand so we can expect to hear nothing but "Hagee? Never heard of him. Let's talk about Wright's hate speech!" until the election is over.

Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But to suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Man is a menace, a walking pestilence. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival.
